Model Reduction of Three-Dimensional Eddy Current Problems Based on the Method of Snapshots

Abstract

The model reduction based on the method of snapshots is applied to the finite element analysis of three-dimensional transient eddy current problems. It is known that accuracy of the reduced model highly depends on the number of snapshots. In this paper, we introduce a novel method which determines the adequate number of snapshots automatically. It is shown that the computational time can be reduced when using the model reduction based on the present method.
